"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

This is what I get for not hanging out in the Sports Bar anymore. I would jump in late, but I am out of pocket for five days starting Thursday. I look at what has been taken and think that I could still make a great album with what is left and part of me wants to jump in next week afterwards and make a best of what was left undrafted attempt. But then, I realize you are only half-way done and I would probably be left rostering the drunk-ass version of King of the Road.

Their artistic vision is clearly no match for mine."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Originally posted by senorsheep View PostIn iTunes, I like to take classic albums, strip out the song(s) that I think are subpar, replace them with superior songs that are stylistically similar from other albums by the band, and then re-sequence the new collection entirely to make a perfect record.
Their artistic vision is clearly no match for mine.
You intersperse the first 10 tracks from OK Computer with In Rainbows, with a 10 second crossfade.
Start with Airbag, then 15 Step etc etc ... ending with Videotape from In Rainbows.
That's 2 more records I can listen to without wanting to skip a track.

Even my beloved Beatles...a Ringo composition, or even vocal, pretty much disqualifies it for me.
Some off-the-wall nominations...Spirt, "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus", Moby Grape, "Moby Grape", Jerry Jeff Walker, "Viva Terlingua", Miles, "In a Silent Way"

Originally posted by Lucky View PostMe, too, too many to count, but even then I realize that some of the songs, while not skippable, keep it from being a perfect album, beginning to end.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

been trying to chart out my remaining picks, and i find myself dismayed that i've only got 3 left :|.
well, that and the fact that Reckoning is awfully picked-over at this point..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?" Albert Hofmann

Originally posted by senorsheep View PostAgree with this 100%. Every REM album has a few "skips." Every Beatles album has skips, too, IMO. I doubt I could come up with ten albums in the history of rock music that don't have at least one "meh" track amongst the jewels. That might be a fun Sports Bar experiment some time - how many classic albums could we all agree are 100% drek-free? Not many, I'll wager.
We can't agree on anything in here.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
